    3. The booklet is also available with the "Search Inside the Book" feature on Amazon. Searching for Pace lets you see several pages with Pace entries. I believe the map mentioned below by Melea Allan was included in one of the early Pace Bulletins as I remember seeing it before but I don't know right off which Bulletin it might be in. Pace Society members have access to early Bulletins in the members-only section of the Pace Society website (www.pacesociety.org) Rebecca Rebecca Christensen <rchristen@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 14:35:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Rebecca Christensen <rchristen@sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [PACE-L] Jamestown Plantations To: Pace-L@rootsweb.com This booklet is still available for purchase and has been reprinted several times. I just purchased an used copy on Amazon for much less than the new price - the postage being more than the cost of the booklet.

The booklet "The First Seventeen Years Virginia, 1607-1624" by Charles E. Hatch, jr. Jamestown Booklet No. 1 published by the University Press of Virginia Charlottesville the booklet was copyright in 1957 an I have an 8th printing copy from 1987. There is a map on pages 32 and 33 which lists 46 of the plantations of the area along the James River and their releationship to each other. The map does not give a lot of detail but each plantation is listed with a circled number and you can see who was who's neighbor and what side of the river they were on. The booklet also gives a brif history of the plantation varying in length from about a half page to a page and a half. On the Maycock's Plantation it gives the location as "upriver from Jamestown on the south side next above Flowerdieu Hundred" (2 paragraphs of information in booklet) Paces-Paines it states that "Richard Pace, late in 1620,braved the wilds over the river from Jamestown" it gives the location as "It was in the territory of Tappahanna in the western extremity of the Corporation of James City. Adjoining him was the 100 acre tract granted, at the same time, to Francis Chapman . . . John Burrows became one of their neighbors." (booklet has about 1 1/2 pages of information) I purchased my booklet through the mail some years ago. When I was in Jamestown area I saw it for purchase there also this was several years ago. I remember it being in about the $10 range in price. I hope this helps Melea
